    That would have been my initial thought, but he usually goes by the name "The Great Mamboozo". It might just be a random GB user called mike.

    I made a new gamertag for the site...I stupidly gave my original one to my brother when I gave him my old 360.

    Dude shh, Miss Perfect is to trick people into actually wanting to fight me.  No one wants to go against Merciless.

    Oh, and I just watched this video and I think I played like crap.  I hate fighting against Cammy!  I never know what to do against her but simple, quick moves and to stay as far away as possible.

    So I stalked his Youtube channel and snagged the second fight.  Thanks for recording this Gouglas and it was a real surprise to see you're a member of GB as well!  I'm much happier with my performance in the third round of this match, but Gouglas was a tough opponent, very unpredictable!

    Hey mike, glad I turned you onto Gouken, looks like your getting good with him, hopefully when I get my gamepad in I can work on my Dan skills and we can have a nice disobedient student/master mirror match.

    I suck at Street Fighter, so it's always fun to watch people fight.

    Mysterious Mike must be Micheal Jackson. Who else plays Gouken?

    Hulk has been using Gouken lately, he's a very fun character.  Enough of a shoto to be familiar but with new tricks to make him new and fun to use.  Lots of people aren't used to playing against him online yet so it's usually a pretty easy way to catch people off guard.  Most people are still having trouble adjusting to his fireball zoning game which is a lot of fun to do.

    There was a nicely timed hooligan throw in the first vid.  Hulk doesn't see enough Cammy players online, much less those that can even perform the new hooligan throw.

    The moment I heard Mike + GiantBomb + Gouken I instantly thought of MB. Glad to see my detective skills are still fine tuned.

    Nice video's. Maybe we should have a thread for folks to post their fights against fellow GiantBomb users?

    terrible match, not enough tick throwing, no cross ups, and a defensive cammy who throws out his ultra at random and a gouken who didnt punish it.  Also your holigan throw is one of your biggest assets and you hardly used it.

    Actually, that shouldn't be used very often (according to the guys at shoryuken). It's useful to mix things up occasionally, but relying on it at all is a horrible mistake.

    Fireball happy Gouken, throw it out and snag an easy win.  This obviously isnt a tourny match so i wouldnt worry about any smart competition ONLINE.

    Nice match.  Gouglas definitely had the Cammy strategy down in the second round, but looks like MB pushed the offensive there in the Final and Cammy couldn't get her moves off.
    Damn guys, I gotta get back into online tomorrow.

    So, someone points out a flaw in your thinking and you come back and criticize?
    MB, tick throwing is when you set up a throw with an attack. It's really easy in SFIV to throw out a light punch and follow it up with a throw, for example. I don't do it much, but I'm not any good, either.

    Funny, I see so many Cammys, and it is probably only because I am so bad at playing against her.

    Hahaha I can't help but hear the Hulk's voice when I read your post. That's hilarious!

    Personally I thought that this was a pretty damn fun match to watch :) and Hamz's idea for the video thread would be shiny provided enough people participate.

    Oh ok, I knew about that throwing technique, I just didn't know it had a name like "tick throwing."  I try to avoid doing that too often, it's kinda cheap.

    No need for people to be harsh critics..


    It was a good match.  I honestly can't figure out how to use Gouken properly ( i also haven't put the time in to learn him).. 

    It was an interesting match though.  Just because of the lack of tick throws or crossups doesn't make it a bad match.

    Can add my name to the list.  I just got completely trashed by MB on Xbox Live today.  The first match actually gave me hope since I was able to take one round with my Vega, but then he proceeded to run right through my Guile, my (ridiculously shitty) Ken, and my Vega two more times.
    Well done, sir.  You are indeed a Street Fighter.

    MB punishes plenty as Gouken.  He plays good mind games, and he is quick on those parries.  He beat my Cammy quite a bit, even after a few rounds where I was able to whittle his health down pretty well.  Wish I had a way to record the matches we played.


    But I did finally beat his ass with C.Viper when he played as Sakura!!!  BWAHAHAHA!!!
